Authorities Thursday publicly identified a 29-year-old motorcyclist who was fatally injured over the New Year’s weekend in a collision at a Golden Hill intersection.
Adam Carmeli, a resident of Los Angeles County, was riding to the west on Broadway when the driver of an oncoming Toyota Matrix made a left turn directly in his path at 19th Street shortly before 1:30 p.m. Saturday, according to the county Medical Examiner’s Office.
The resulting crash left Carmeli with severe injuries to his upper body. Medics took him to Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Intoxication was not thought to be a factor in the accident, said San Diego police Officer Robert Heims.
